Education Dept. Accuses Web Site of Deceiving Aid Applicants

By JENNIFER YACHNIN

Students who surf to fafsa.com, assuming that they'll be able to
find information about the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid, may be startled to find that the services offered on the site
aren't free at all.

Although the FAFSA name is synonymous with the Education
Department form, fafsa.com is owned by a for-profit company,
Student Financial Aid Services, that helps students complete and
submit the federal-aid application.
